Rear View Mirror Poem by Jay P Narain

I am cruising thru the avenues of my life
The uncertain future seems to get closer and closer,
The present seems to float fast away from me,
Only the visions of past linger around in the rear view mirror.

I look at the crossroad, where we first met,
Your promises of meeting again brought me there over and over again,
Once when i saw you happily strolling with someone else,
I knew my loving destination has vanished forever for someone else.

I vision my sweerheart waiting for me all over,
When love was being poured, i was playing the game of silent appreciaion,
When love is ignored and not reciprocated with aftention,
The love departs and only the shadows lurk in the rear view mirror.

The visions in the rear view mirror,
Fast recede and get out of reach,
Notice the manuevers we make to go ahead,
Learn from the past and charter your course ahead.
